Locking coupling

摘要

A locking coupling primarily for backshell connectors includes basically a main cylindrical body through which wires pass to an electrical connector, a coupling collar for connecting the backshell to the connector and a locking collar in one position permitting the coupling collar to rotate relative to the main body and in a second position locking this coupling collar to the main body, the main body having a circumferential ring of radial and axially extending teeth, a pawl having teeth carried by the coupling collar in alignment with the teeth of the main body, the locking collar forcing the teeth of this pawl into tight engagement with the teeth of the main body in the locking position.
